Synopsis
In each episode, Ruff-Ruff, Tweet and Dave are called out by Hatty the Hamster to go on adventures with him. A few times in each episode, Hatty will ask a question. The three title characters will give their answers, but only one of them is correct. Hatty then asks the viewers which of the three gave the correct answer to his question.
Characters
Main
- Hatty (voiced by David Holt) is a hamster and the show's host. He wears a bow tie, and a top hat that shapeshifts from one episode to another. He takes the title characters to certain places in his top-shaped aircraft called the "Spin-Again". His shapeshifting hat also contains cards with questions that he reads to them. He would act like a school teacher to them by providing some information during their adventures. It is unknown if he has a house, although he has a garden where he occasionally takes his three friends to.
- Ruff-Ruff (voiced by Joseph West) is a red puppy, & one of the three title characters. He lives in a red home (resembling a ball with his ears) which sits beside both Tweet's & Dave's homes, and is located on a mountain that extends above a lake. He also drives a red Rolly Pod. He even likes to dig holes which, at times, result in finding lost items.
- Tweet (voiced by Ella Pearl Marshall-Pinder) is a yellow chick wearing pink glasses, and the shortest of the group. She lives in a yellow home that sits in between Ruff-Ruff's & Dave's homes. Her house resembles an egg, and drives a yellow Rolly Pod with a beak. She walks by moving her feet simultaneously instead of alternately.
- Dave (voiced by Jonathan Millar) is a blue panda, and is the biggest of the title characters. He lives in a white home with blue ears that resembles him. His house is further on the right, being beside Tweet's home and is even further than Ruff-Ruff's home. He drives a big fat blue Rolly Pod. He is also the subject of Hatty's last question which the hamster asks at the end of each episode who will fall asleep first, and Dave is always the answer because he always falls asleep before Ruff-Ruff & Tweet do. There was one episode where Dave made a complete sweep by being the only one correct on every question Hatty asks. Unlike most pandas who like to eat bamboo, Dave seems to like eating bananas.
Other
- Mr. Squirrel is an orange/brown squirrel whom Ruff-Ruff likes to chase around. He would sometimes aid the main characters in their adventures. As with characters other than the main ones, he does not speak.
- Cindy Squirrel is the other squirrel in the show.
- Speedy/Sneezy Sheep are a pair of sheep with a black stripe on the wools near their necks. They occasionally takes part in the main characters' games.
- Mrs. Duck is a green/brown duck who adores Tweet and swims around.
- The Cows are at the farm, but they do not speak.
- Farmer Fred is mentioned.
- Bobby is a spider monkey who speaks a gibberish language.
